Current Exhibition:

GLEAMS

Al Brydon, Bianca Wallis-Salmon & Bryony Good

4th July - 2nd August

In a Land launches with GLEAMS, a group exhibition featuring the work of Al Brydon, Bianca Wallis-Salmon, and Bryony Good. This opening show brings together three distinct artistic voices to explore personal and poetic interpretations of the landscape. Through photographic art GLEAMS traces the artists’ journeys, both physical and emotional, through rural and uncanny terrains, offering layered perspectives on how we encounter and imagine place.

Al Brydon is a photographer based in the north of the UK working on long term photography projects. His work has been published and exhibited both in the UK and internationally. Brydon is also a Co-founder of the Inside the Outside collective. Using photography as a vehicle for storytelling, he is interested in the history of the landscape and human interaction and alteration of it.

‘One is a process-driven body of work—and dreaming while you’re awake.
It was never about how the world actually was, but how I wanted the world to be… at the time.
Plucked, kicking and screaming, into a physical and instant manifestation of whatever happens to be in front of you.’

Bianca Wallis-Salmon is a transdisciplinary artist working across photography, poetry, sculpture & printmaking. Her practice is a ritual of metamorphosis—drawing on alchemy, mythology & the ‘more-than-human’ to explore healing, transformation & becoming. Through the metaphor of becoming-bird, she reimagines interspecies transformation as a pathway to self-reclamation and embodied remembering. 

Bryony is a photographer who has developed her work to explore the romanticised nostalgia and uncanny brutality landscapes can evoke. Her work explores the lore of the land and photographic storytelling through language and process.

The Fool is a body of work that weaves together photography and writing to trace both personal and physical journeys through the landscape. The photographs you see were taken over a number of years, as footsteps followed paths laced with stories. Throughout that time the life of the artist changed dramatically and each walk became a part of a grieving process, an exploration of home as an anchor in a storm
